After fighting an insectile corruption and embracing the power of fire, we left our heroine and her companion at the edge of the Forgotten Forest. Along the treacherous, twisting paths of her adventure, she began to uncover the secret pieces of her story. Now she must fight not to drown under the crushing weight of uncertainty and fight with dignity to restore her inner peace.

Discover new enemies, learn new magic and explore two brand new dungeons full of mystery. Be brave; for there is no turning back on the way to the truth.

After a bug in our save system was found, we cannot guarantee compatibility between the update and the current (Halloween) version. Depending on where you last left the game it will work, or not. Regardless of the state of the save, we recommend a new game because of the work that has been done in the first two dungeons.

Please be aware that this update marks the end of our early bird pricing. Epistory now be fixed at $12.99 due to the major updates that have been done since launching on Early Access.

Thank you to everyone who has supported us on this adventure so far. We hope you will enjoy this new chapter and we can’t wait to hear your feedback!

Sorry about the absence of weekly updates! Here’s one with a short video displaying the Splicing Machine:

As you can see in the video:

Each Norn has 8 cosmetic genes, each one impacting the appearance of the Norn. Changing the 1st one will have an impact on the belly, the 2nd one on the pattern the Norn has and so on.

There are 12 possible genes

There are 4 body types, each gene corresponds to one of them. The body of the Norn is an “average” created from these genes. See for example how the body shape changed when I replaced Bananou’s genes with Feral genes.

Two Norns with the same genes will look the same in the Splicing Machine as the preview shows you how the Norn should look with these genes. That’s why Bananou and Brugno seem similar.

However, once spliced they can have small differences even with the same genes. If you look carefully, in-game Bananou has 2 white spots on the hips, while Brugno has a white mark on the right arm.

The pattern on Norn fur is defined by genes #2 and #3, but the color for these patterns are defined by genes #5 and #6.

Time required for splicing depends on the number of genes modified (and the type of these genes).

This week, we added possibility to switch worlds by tapping on the teleporters. Before that, the only way to change the current world was by using the world monitor (the interface allowing you to see your worlds and in which world each of your Norn is).

We also tweaked the volume of some sound effects. Some were quite piercing.

By the way, I would like to answer to these two questions / concerns I have encountered regarding the latest video:- There are different Norns voices, one of them being much like the old classic Norns voices. Simply, none of the Norns in the video had it. It depends of the Norn.- If you don’t collect coins / XP by yourself, they will be automatically collected after some seconds, you actually don’t need to collect them one by one.

Nothing too juicy to share with you this week, as we are not working on really interesting things, but rather on debugging and stabilizing the mobile version.However, for those who missed the Twitch session before the Christmas holidays, we recorded a gameplay video (nothing new for those who watched the Twitch session though, it is a similar gameplay).

This week we continued working on the game, mostly on technical fixes. Some in-game animations, triggered when Norn do specific actions (watering a plant, playing with a toy…) were broken and the issue was more important than we thought (we had to fix the system handling animations, and not animations themselves).

Most importantly, the date for the Twitch session is finally set! Sorry about the delay… It will take place December, Thursday 11th at 8PM CET. For information, Central European Time corresponds to GMT+1:00.

Sorry for the late weekly update ! It will be a bit different today. Between the technical tasks, fixes and things which cannot be showed because still in progress, I can’t really do the usual update. So let’s say a bit more about the Crafting machine instead.

Right above, you can see a simple screenshot of the crafting interface. It allows you to obtain some objects by combining various components. It mainly means that you have another way to obtain objects / agents (rather than buying them with the coins generated with time).

The components are obtained when Norns do actions (watering / cleansing a plant, using a toy, tickling a critter…), so it may be interesting to “push” new players to experiment the various actions Norns can do.

If you don’t have the required resources, you can buy them with some Golden Eggs, but all resources can be found in normal gameplay.

The categories on the left are still subject to change, but you will be able to craft genes to be used with the Splicing machine or potions / food for the item kit.

Thank you again for your pledges and support! As you can see, the project gets slowly funded, backer by backer but hey! Rome wasn’t built in a day! Was it?

We noticed that one reason may be the poor visibility we have on the project and it would help a lot to be featured by Kickstarter. According to my sources, one of the statistics that Kickstarter uses to determine who gets featured on the main page is the number of “Finished plays” which means the number of time your video has been entirely seen. We currently have 21,59% of plays completed and we need that number up over 75%. So, here’s my request: Please click play on the main project video, and let it play all the way to the very end. This is super important!

Now, let’s talk about something way sexier. I mean the Level Editor! Many of you backed $80 to have an early access to it and therefore the ability to submit your own levels for the final version of the game. So, we decided to briefly show you how it works. Please keep in mind that this editor is our internal version and it’s not as user friendly as the one you’ll get. Ladies and Gentlemen, please a standing ovation for Guillaume Bouckaert and his level editing presentation!

Hope you enjoyed it!

Thank you for your support, and thank you for telling your friends about the project!

Eyeballs Invaders have landed on a mysterious planet and they need to get as many energy orbs as they can to build themselves a new spaceship.
